IMPEQVEMENT IN ADVERTISING DEVICES.

- Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 222,243, dated December 2, 1879; application filed October 21, 1879.

To all whom'it may concern Be it known that I, JULIUS J.GOHEN, of Chicago, in the county of (look and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Devices foI'AdveI-tisin g, of which the following is a specification.

The nature of my invention relates 'to devices for making business-cards, hand-bills, and circulars more attractive to the general "public, and sufficiently valuable-to be preserved by the parties given to; and it consists in a printed advertising-sheet having toiletpins stuck in the sheet through one or more of the prominent words, characters, or devices.

A toilet-pin is an article which is used by everybody, and which, although trifling in cost, hardly any person will't-hrow away; there fore a printed advertising-sheet of any kind or description which holds a series of pins will be preserved at least until the pins there on have been used.

The accompanying drawing represents a hand-bill, showing the manner in which I intend to apply the pins. In this hand-bill, it

will be noticed, the words the fair are given prominence, and thesewords I have made par- I ticularly attractive by overspreadin g the same scope of my invention, and which therefore I do not claim; but What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

An advertising device consisting of a printed sheet having toilet-pins stuck inthe sheet through one or more of the prominent words, substantially as described and shown.

JULIUS J. COHEN.
